Guide to post video on your own Web site

In this simple guide, we will show you how easy it is to post video files on your own web site.

Step 1

Open FLV File with Video to Flash Converter and select a template.

Step 2

Go to Tab Publish, you can change the output Flash file name and html file name, but do not change xml file name, just keep it as "slides.xml". Changing it might cause the SWF file to "Load fail". Then choose "Create Flash File Only" and click Publish button .

Step 3

After the process finishes, a window will pop-up, and you choose to open the output folder. In the output folder, you will see several files and folders. These are the data source and assets that keep the flv video plays properly when it's embedded into website. In the "Videos" folders, there are "flv", "slides" and "thumbs" folders. The flv folder has the converted videos. The slides folder has the images which have their respective thumbnails present in the thumbs folder. The details of these images are listed in the XML document. It's suggested that you keep the HTML document with all these assets in the same file folder, and do not rename those file folders (the "Res", "Videos", "flv", "slides" and "thumbs"), or you might have to make loads of changes to the XML and HTML documents. Nonetheless, you can re-name the file folder that contains these documents and assets.

Step 4

Upload the all files in output folder to your web server.

Step 5

To incorporate the flv video into an existing HTML document, you can manually adding the <OBJECT> and <EMBED> tags to the existing page.

1. Open the Video to Flash Convert-created HTML document in a text or HTML editor.

2. Copy the HTML code included in the <object> and <embed> tags (see example below) and paste it into the existing HTML document. This should contain the <OBJECT> and <EMBED> tags.

In this case, "untitled" is the folder directory, while the "slides.swf" is the SWF file name and the "slides.xml" is the XML file name.

Step 6

Open the existing web page, and paste the <object> and <embed> tags into the desired location in the body of the document. This can also be pasted into a table cell or frame. Also you can change the height and width parameters to match the height and width of the movie dimensions or use percentage values, if desired.
